Invention to Improve the Future



This project, as the title loudly proclaims, was about a new revolutionary invention and the futuristic world it would operate in. I settled on making a ridiculous but awesome looking form of neotransport: the Spider-Car.I would like to point out that sculptris is awful for creating anything mechanical looking. Absolutely everything you put in becomes biological swirls or genetic tentacles or textured skins. Not ideal for metallic prototypes or boxy new inventions. But I digress.
 Back to the spider car. I should first explain that it is a bio engineered cyborg much larger than a human being. Think a normal everyday spider gets bitten by a radioactive Peter Parker. And then steals a Transformer's sunglasses. Basically you the driver (drivers in this case) enter through a hatch move through  the hollowed transport cavern within the biological automobile and into the cockpit/control room/its head and  control it much as you would a horse... only with cables connecting the primordial brain of the spider car to your own and numerous globular bioscreens showing what the spider car sees, smells, hears, etc.  Now my invention is made for difficult terrain so I demonstrated it in one of the most forbidding environments known to man: Florida. This biologically created super spider will tower over the trees, sidestepping gracefully through the forest ferns and have finely tunes sense to avoid dangerous alligators, retirees, and quicksand. These biological beasts would require food, perhaps a high protein pellet, but it means they won't need gas. Yes we would feed them the pellets, because if they ate raw meat it would only be a matter of time before an...accident occurred and then with a new found craving for the juicy meats of their human overlords the spyderborgs would revolt bring society to its knees to worship a hungry arachnid race. Or not.
